Poppy Hills to Host the 2018 U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship A

USGA championship is on its way to Poppy Hills. The USGA announced in February that

Poppy Hills will host the 2018 U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship, to be held July 16-21. It will mark the first time that Poppy Hills has ever hosted a USGA championship. “We are proud to welcome Poppy Hills as a USGA championship host, and confident that this respected golf course will provide a worthy test and an enjoyable experience for the world’s best female junior golfers during the 70th U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship,” said USGA president Diana Murphy

during the announcement. “Poppy Hills and the NCGA are proven industry leaders, particularly in resource management, and we applaud and support their efforts on behalf of the game.” The new Poppy Hills has received numerous

awards, including 2014 Best Renovation by Golf Digest and 2014 Best Courses in California (No.6 in Northern California) by GOLF Magazine. Last year, the California Golf Course Owners Association tabbed Poppy Hills as its 2015 Course of the Year.
